Interior view
by BERRECCI, Bartolomeo, Photo
The mortuary chapel (1517-33) for King Sigismund I was attached to the Wawel Cathedral after the design of Berrecci. It represents one of the richest examples of the Italian Renaissance style in central Europe. Square in plan, each wall is divided by elaborately carved pilasters into a wide central bay for the tombs or altar, flanked by narrower bays with statue niches. Above, a coffered, semicircular dome rests on a drum with great circular windows.
